Corruption

Six King City police officers, including the former police chief and acting police chief, are facing corruption charges. The arrests were made Tuesday morning by the Monterey County Sheriff, the FBI, Salinas Police and the Monterey County District Attorney’s Bureau of Investigation.

Monterey County District Attorney Dean Flippo said the arrests came after a six month investigation initiated by complaints from King city residents. “People saying they take our property, they take our money, they take our cars,” said Flippo.
